Management API is missing Delete for UserData

[enkelmedia]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

16.1.0

Bug summary

This might be a "Discussion" but it's also an issue 😀

I've noticed that the IUserDataService in C# has a DeleteAsync method, but this method is never exposed in the management API. It's actually not called at all from any C# code.

I'm wondering if this is intentional or if it would be welcome with a PR to expose this to the management API?

Hi there @enkelmedia!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

As far as I can see, user data isn't used yet in the backoffice so I think this is just not fully fleshed out. But from an API perspective, I see no reason not to expose the delete method. So sure - if you are happy to create a PR for that, thank you.

Don't forget security checks on it though to make sure users can only delete their own data. So likely it needs to delete by key, but before deleting retrieve the value for that key and make sure it matches the current user.
